On Paper, VGK Have The Answers For However Oilers Deploy McDavid And Draisaitl

This will be one tuff series to win. But if we play as we should,we can beat these guys. I would imagine a 6-7 game series. We have a better balanced team, they have an amazing offense and PP. buckle up!

Considering no one has managed to hold Draisaitl or McDavid down and the kings had two higher calibre defensive centres, it’s slightly surprising to think the Knights will “have the answer either way”

They have a combined 48 points in 37 games, which is maybe slightly below their usual levels but still very good stats.

Defensively for sure Vegas are the better team but since the trade deadline it’s been almost a wash.

If vegas try and play defensive and catch oilers like the kings did they will lose, they have more high end talent than the kings so need to play a more offensive game and can forecheck for their chances. Can attack the second and third lines of the oilers and create mismatches.

The notions that the oilers rely on 2 players only and are a Power play team are massively incorrect.

Looking at the odds for the series, it’s probably fair and it should be a good one.

If the Oil load up both on the same line who checks Draisaital on the wing? What if he lines up at RW? Which Vegas LW checks him?

The good news is a Nuge/Kane 2nd line drops in quality without McD & Draisaital.

Also if the big 2 keep C the 4th line they will eventually burn out, but that may benefit another team down the line.

Im convinced the series will come down to matchups, coaching and home ice.

Earlier this month, House Republicans passed a bill that would prevent transgender girls from joining school-based sports teams designated for women. Transgender rights have emerged as a top culture war issue for many Republican voters.

As Greene’s interaction with Weingarten came to an end, the lawmaker returned to her claim that the union leader is not a true mother. “People like you need to admit that you’re just a political activist, not a teacher, not a mother, not a medical doctor,” she said .

Democrats unsuccessfully attempted to have her attacks on Weingarten stricken from the Congressional Record, but Wenstrup said House rules would not permit him to do so.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early
The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ship’s bell rang
Could it be the north wind they’d been feelin’?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too
T’was the witch of November come stealin’
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashin’
When afternoon came it was freezin’ rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin’
“Fellas, it’s too rough to feed ya”
At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said
“Fellas, it’s been good to know ya”
The captain wired in he had water comin’ in
And the good ship and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay
If they’d put fifteen more miles behind her
They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man’s dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the maritime sailors’ cathedral
The church bell chimed ’til it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early
